PM Khan Addresses the UN General Assembly

In a virtual address to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed his views on the Kashmir issue, the situation in Afghanistan, Islamophobia, COVID-19, the environment, and other topics.

Presenting the case of Kashmir at the United Nations, the Prime Minister said that New Delhi was moving towards a self-made final solution to the dispute. “The final solution will be found by the people of the region in a free and fair referendum under the auspices of the United Nations,” he said. “The key to peace in South Asia lies in resolving the Kashmir issue.”

Prime Minister Imran Khan further said that family members were prevented from attending the funeral prayers of Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Gilani and India had extrajudicially killed thousands of Kashmiris in occupied Kashmir, imprisoning many senior leaders.

Addressing the United Nations, the Prime Minister went on to say that India had recently snatched the body of Syed Ali Shah Gilani and the General Assembly should demand that the Hurriyat leader be buried in the Martyrs’ Cemetery.

He said that India’s human rights violations in Kashmir were against the Geneva Conventions.

Prime Minister Imran Khan also said that Pakistan wanted peace with India but peace in South Asia depended on the solution of the Kashmir issue.

The Prime Minister also said that after 9/11, some quarters linked Islam with terrorism which led to the rise of right-wing extremism. “We all have to fight the trend of Islamophobia together,” he said.

He said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) RSS regime was spreading fascist ideology, adding that the human rights of Muslims and minorities in India were being snatched away.

Imran Khan said that we have to deal with Islamophobia jointly, must promote inter-faith harmony, and hold a global dialogue to overcome Islamophobia.

In addition, the Prime Minister added that some people in the United States and Europe blamed Pakistan for the situation in Afghanistan. “After Afghanistan, if anyone is most affected, it is Pakistan,” he said.

Imran Khan then also said that he had told then-Senator and current US President Joe Biden in 2006 that war was not the answer.

He also said that there are 3 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan at present. “Pakistan lost $150 billion in the war on terror and more than 80,000 lives were lost and if any country is affected after Afghanistan, that is Pakistan,” he said.

He went on to say that if the world wants to know why the Taliban came back to power, then look to the 300,000 Afghan soldiers who surrendered. He warned that if the Taliban government is not recognized by the world, Afghanistan could once again become a hotbed of terrorists.

In addition, Imran Khan said that the world is currently facing the challenges posed by coronavirus, economy, and climate change and Pakistan is one of the countries most affected by climate change.

Imran Khan further said that renewable energy and the protection of forests needed to be prioritized and the world needed to unite to meet the challenges ahead.

He said that Pakistan has so far managed to control coronavirus to a large extent and Smart Lockdown has been imposed in various cities as a precautionary measure.
